ROMANS 7:10-19

¹⁰and the commandment, which was unto life, this I found to be unto death:

¹¹for sin, finding occasion, through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me.

¹²So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

¹³Did then that which is good become death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might be shewn to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good;—that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.

¹⁴For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

¹⁵For that which I do I know not: for not what I would, that do I practise; but what I hate, that I do.

¹⁶But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good.

¹⁷So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.

¹⁸For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but to do that which is good is not.

¹⁹For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practise.
